Clutch Preview New Album With Video Teaser

Earlier this year, Metal Insider went on a super-secret mission we couldn’t talk about at the time. At nearby studio The Machine Shop, Clutch was putting the finishing touches on their new album, Earth Rocker. The band and their label Weathermaker chartered a bus from New York to bring a handful of journalists, radio programmers and label peeps to hear six songs from the album. While there aren’t any full songs on this video preview the band released, you can hear snippets of some, which should give you an idea of what the album will sound like when it’s released in March (spoiler alert, it sounds pretty fucking great). If you look closely, you can even see a few Metal Insider staffers in the clip. Watch for a live version of the title track recorded at the Machine Shop to pop up at the band’s new website, earthrocker.com, on December 24th.

If you were at yesterday’s (26) Long Island stop of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival and saw Code Orange’s set, you saw their last show on the tour. They said in a tweet that they’d be missing the last four dates of the fest.

Philadelphia grindcore trio Die Choking will release their first full-length album this October. The first taste of it, “Death’s Waveform,” is streaming now on Cvlt Nation. III will be released on Compound Records.

After tonight’s (6) Goatwhore show at Brooklyn, NY venue Saint Vitus bar sold out, the band has added a second show, tomorrow (7) at the same venue. Ringworm, Black Breath and Theories will support. You can pick up tickets here.
